A service to commemorate those journalists, photographers, camera-crew, sound-crew and support staff who have died on the frontline, will be held at St Bride’s Church, Fleet Street on Tuesday 11th November 2025 at 6:30pm.

This year our annual service is entitled Conflict and Calling which honours the tension at the heart of journalism – where the risks of truth-telling meet the deep sense of vocation that drives it.

It also invites reflection on the courage, sacrifice, and moral conviction of those whose work often exacts a great personal cost.

The service is free and open to all; please register to attend via → https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/journalists-commemorative-service-2025-conflict-and-calling-tickets-1756323985319
